Character Design

This was a project from last year exploring character design. I was given 3 words to describe each character I had to design. I enjoyed this project as it gave me a chance to explore my imagination and develop my drawing style.

Bird like, Artist, Non threatening

Guitar playing, Schizophrenic, Cyclist

Nerdy girl, Communist, Chilli lover

Angry, Caring, Nudist

Social, Moustached, Postman

Shark like, Urban, Friendly

First Live Brief!

As part of this years module I was tasked with finding briefs to work from, be it from a competition, a company or an individual client. This assignment is to help expand my knowledge of the illustration industry and develop my portfolio.

Over the summer I was lucky enough to get in contact with a local author, Ron Kenyon, who was looking for an illustrator to design his next book cover. We had a meeting and I showed him some of my work, we discussed the design and arranged to meet two weeks later when I would show him my rough sketches. During our second meeting I showed him the sketches and an image I had refined a little further to give him more of an idea of the end result. Mr Kenyon loved the design and suggested a few minor changes to font size and composition. 

Here is the finished piece:
